Colour grading and sun shafts built a fresh `UniformBuffer` (a new GPU buffer)
inside their render-graph node every frame. Each view now owns one small
UNIFORM | COPY_DST buffer, created the first frame the effect is on and
rewritten in place with `RenderQueue::write_buffer` in
`RenderSystems::PrepareResources`, the same shape as bloom's prepare-time
uniform. The node only binds it. The pass still gates on the extracted view
component, so the kept buffer never runs a disabled pass.
Verified: cargo check -p benilla-app; rustfmt clean on both files. No GPU
here; built on Linux only.

The radial blur read the scene depth 28 times per full-resolution pixel. A
new mask pre-pass (`fs_mask`, R8Unorm at ceil(w/2) x ceil(h/2)) loads the
depth once per half-res texel and thresholds it with the same sky test
(depth <= 1e-7 on infinite reverse-Z); the blur then takes 28 clamp-to-edge
bilinear taps of the mask. Only the mask stage is MSAA-specialised (single
and multisampled depth layouts, one pipeline each); the blur pipeline is
keyed by the target format alone.
Verified: cargo check -p benilla; all four WGSL variants (blur, blur +
MULTISAMPLED, SHAFT_MASK, SHAFT_MASK + MULTISAMPLED) compose and validate
under naga_oil 0.20 / naga 27 offline. No GPU or WoW data in this
environment, so the image is not captured; built on Linux only.

Part of #41: the last of five `benilla-app` pieces. This one is everything the others did not cover: the addon harness, the settings registry, the glue screens (login, realm list, character select and create), key bindings, the minimap, nameplates, the loading screen, transports, the performance instruments, the smaller modules, the integration tests, and the UI asset files (`OptionsFrame.xml`, `benilla.toc` and the rest). Their comments are rewritten to the rule in `docs/METHOD.md`, which is what the code does and the reference fact behind it, in a line. 27,351 comment lines become 11,010.
Fixes#33. Fixes#103.
- **The mechanical strip.** The citations that were only a private record number go first, and each edit is shown to be a pure removal.
- **Wrong facts corrected.** The rewrite corrects the comments that stated wrong facts. Among them:
- The weapon trail's emissive is 0 (`0x70ca30`): the trail is a type-5 render record, so its ambient-only light term is exact.
- The camera-style dropdown writes "1", "2", "0" (`UIOptionsFrame.lua:525,536,547`); several register-site addresses in the settings table are corrected.
- The graphics settings are held until `RestartGx`, as in 1.12; `Fonts.xml`'s early load no longer carries a false reason.
- vmangos sends a player-name invalidation after a rename (`CharacterHandler.cpp:839`), and the cinematic camera's announce packet has an empty handler there (`MiscHandler.cpp:919`).
- Stock FrameXML and GlueXML line citations are checked against the stock 1.12 files, and vmangos line citations against the pinned revision.
- **Deviation labels.** "Deviation:" now marks only a choice with its recorded reason. Declining to copy a reference defect is stated plainly, and so is an unbuilt behaviour or an untraced one.
- **Verification.** Every file strips to identical code, apart from test literals in `login/`, `death/` and `ui_script/death_tests.rs` that now use placeholder account and character names, and `cargo fmt --check` is clean. Six second readers compared every file old against new, restored the facts the rewrite had dropped, and checked each new citation against the code, the stock files, vmangos and the reference.
A second commit corrects one comment in `benilla-ui` (`unit_is_grey`: the reference's exclusion is players only). A third lowers `ui_script_wall`'s ceiling from 45 to 40: five gameplay files named `UiScript` only in comments the rewrite removed, and the ratchet asks for the number to follow.
Behaviour differences the rewrite surfaced are filed as their own issues (#339 to #353 among them). String literals are untouched; they are #92.

RenderSubmesh carries stage 1 (texture, UV set, transform, Mod/Mod2x) for
textureCount 2 batches; M2Vertex reads UV1. WowModelExt gains a stage1
uniform + texture binding 94/95 and the WOW_STAGE1 shader def, so every
one-texture batch compiles the old code. The skybox lane binds stage 1 on
its own material copies and drives its transform rows.

The daylight lane's tooltip had raw line breaks inside a Lua string instead of
an escaped blank line, a syntax error that broke OptionsFrame.xml's inline
script (an error dialog on the UI-fixture captures).

Review B4: the Stormwind window split changed the default image with no switch.
New cvar daylightWindowSplit (default 1 = merged behaviour, a future High-only
preset member), bridged to daylight::set_window_split. Review B5: each settled
exterior torch slot is keyed by the resident tiles whose footprint reaches its
sphere (terrain_torch_generation_near), not a global stamp that re-rendered
every slot on any stream event.

Review W4: the bend height was normalised per submesh, so a trunk + canopy
detail doodad tore apart at the seam; the span is now taken over all of the
model's submeshes. Review W5: clutter meshes carry UV_1 (VERTEX_UVS_B), so the
six clutter pipelines are also warmed on the POS+NORMAL+UV0+UV1+COLOR quad.

Review B9: update_sky_colors and update_cloud_fx read the cloud coverage with no
order against tick_clouds, so the glow's cover sample was this frame's or the
last one's nondeterministically. New CloudTick set; both run after it.

Review B2: the f32 clock wrapped hourly and every star's twinkle jumped at the
wrap. It now accumulates in f64 and wraps at 86400 s; the shader rounds each
twinkle rate to whole cycles per wrap, so the stars are seamless. The High
cloud detail drift still re-patterns once per 24 h (noted).

Review B3: floor(cycle) % 50 keeps the ring roll continuous across the 1000 s
wrap. B8: publish the ripple clock only while it rains. B7: nudge the wet
sheen half-vector off zero. B6: WORD_WINDOW batches are excluded from wet
darkening.

Review P4: emissive_boost now lifts only above a 0.6 knee (equal to the old
gain at 1.0), so additive spells and lava keep their look and the excess feeds
the bloom. Review P3: the window gain applies to static_gx's SIDN light term
before fog, not to the whole fogged batch. Review P6: Low-tier extract taps
scale with the quarter-size target. Review P7: excess capped at 64 (no NaN).

Review P1: the path mean lifted every clear sky pixel equally; it is now the
occlusion ratio times an aspect-corrected radial falloff from the sun.
Review P2: sky = depth <= 1e-7 (cleared / sky-pinned), no longer a nearclip-
dependent ramp. Review P5 (partial): read one MSAA sample per tap.

The integration wrapped the final gamma colour in fog_sky_horizon, whose weight
is 1 at 0 deg, so the sunset glow was erased at the horizon. Mix the Modern far
fog colour into the linear gradient before the glow and stars (review A1) and
return from the SKY_FX branch; the Classic tail keeps fog_sky_horizon.

Bit 18 aliases the top lane-weight bit and bit 12 of the interior probe slot,
so doorway units and probe-lit interior props swayed like trees. A classified
leaf batch's fade-band exile now gets marked copies of its cutout/blend
materials (clutter_fade.z bit 14, FOLIAGE_WIND_MARKER, not a key axis) and
wow_model.wgsl sways only those.

The wave phase was k*speed(t)*t (its rate grows with session age: ~33 Hz noise
after 10 min) and its spatial term rotated about the world origin with the veer
(hundreds of rad/s at 9k yd from the first second). Now update_wind integrates
travel += speed*dt in f64 and publishes it wrapped at 4096 yd (wind_b.x); every
wave rate is a whole number of cycles per wrap, so the wrap is seamless. The
spatial term uses the fixed profile heading (wind_a.z); the veer and gust turn
only the bend. Capture offset WOW_CAPTURE_WIND_T for late-session shots.
